A breakthrough took place in the von Neumann algebra theory when the Tomita-Takesaki theory was established around 1970. Since then, many important issues in the theory were developed through 1970s by Araki, Connes, Haagerup, Takesaki and others, which are already very classics of the von Neumann algebra theory. Nevertheless, it seems still difficult for beginners to access them, though a few big volumes on the theory are available. These lecture notes are delivered as an intensive course in 2019, April at Department of Mathematical Analysis, Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The course was aimed at giving a fast track study of those main classics of the theory, from which people gain an enough background knowledge so that they can consult suitable volumes when more details are needed.
A unital ring is called clean (resp. strongly clean) if every element can be written as the sum of an invertible element and an idempotent (resp. an invertible element and an idempotent that commutes). T.Y. Lam proposed a question: which von Neumann
We consider the general linear group as an invariant of von Neumann factors. We prove that up to complement, a set consisting of all idempotents generating the same right ideal admits a characterisation in terms of properties of the general linear gr
The notion of index for inclusions of von Neumann algebras goes back to a seminal work of Jones on subfactors of type ${I!I}_1$. In the absence of a trace, one can still define the index of a conditional expectation associated to a subfactor and look
The Kubo-Ando theory deals with connections for positive bounded operators. On the other hand, in various analysis related to von Neumann algebras it is impossible to avoid unbounded operators. In this article we try to extend a notion of connections
Given a von Neumann algebra $M$ denote by $S(M)$ and $LS(M)$ respectively the algebras of all measurable and locally measurable operators affiliated with $M.$ For a faithful normal semi-finite trace $tau$ on $M$ let $S(M, tau)$ (resp. $S_0(M, tau)$)
